Is IL Nice ?

When a citizen goes to the Grand
opera house and puts hls hat in the con-
verience below the opera chair seats he
mutters to himself. "Ah, this Is nice;"
but when between the acts he walks out
amid smiles of the fair ones to "see q
man." and finds that the fellow sitting
behind him has put out his legs and bat
tered in the crown of his. hat, he don't
think that is so nice after all. There are
always two sides to every thing, and 80
there is to the hat business.

A Scientific Specialist.

San Antonio Express.
DR.. Petit, the noted specialist who
recently visited San Antonio In the
practice of his profession, is doing an
immense business here. Among many
difficult surgical operations successfully
performed by him within the past few
DAYS, there Is one at least that entities
him to special praise, nsmely-that in
which Mrs. A. M. Kelly, mother of q
prominent citizen Of Austin, was the
subject. This lady's sight was almost
lost, the right eye being totally bind,
and the other, through sympathy, being
steadily failing. She consulted the best
physicians, all of whom gave it as their
opinion that her only hope lay
in the removal of the diseased
organ, but at the same time they all de-
clned to perform the operation. She
visited DIR. Pettitt few days ago, and so
we'll did he accomplish the delicate and
dangerous task which the other doctors
refused to undertake, the lady has since
presented him with most valuable tes-
timonial, and every physician in the
city who has heard of the operation
pronounces it a grand scientific tri-
umph. The sightless eye was entirely
removed, and the other one was so
treated that Mrs. Kelly is now in the
enjoyment of better sight than she has
experienced for ten yerrs. When it
comes to operating on the eye, whether
for the curing of disease or the oorreo-
ton of deformities, DR.. Pettltt is one of
the most skillful specialists in the south.

A POOR FARM

As to the practicabili.y Of Han county
owning poor farm We are not prepared
to speak with absolute conviction. A e. eat
deal has been said by people Of various
parts of the county and 80 far II seems TO
be the general impression that it would
be wise, practical and economical scheme
II is urged by some that it Is only ques.
tion OF time when the county will have to
buy farm, and that land will mover be
so cheap as it is at the present, therefore,
now is the time to buy. Again, In spite
OF all the caution the b ard Of county
commissioners may uss, or are presumed
to exercise, q good many hundreds Of
dollars are annually paid out of the poor
fund that the existance az poor farm
would very matsriaiiy cnegn.
To car personal knowledge the county
has provided food and clothing for able
bodied people. who, If poor farm was
secured, could easily pay their board by
attending the "cLores" about the pace
under direction Of a farm supervisor.
Not oil persons who apply to the board
for assistance are fit subjects for the poor
farm. But when one places himself en-
tirely on the county. has the county pay
for his board aud fuel, such an one should
be placed on the county poor farm--if
there was one. To one actually In need
of public charity, it is proper it should
be given him, il is proper he should re-
ceive it and there is nothing disgraceful
in accepting it. Nevertheless thsre is
more or less pride in every one, and the
thought OF being confined to place sup
ported by public charity very often recon
structs lazy man, or discouraged"
man into an active hustler for bread.
There Is great deal of difference with q
dead bsat whether he is boarding at a
private house or at.the county poor house.
1t is figured by those whe are in favor
Of the poor farm that BY this means alone,
the price Of poor farm will be saved in
one year, and we shall not take exceptions
to their figures, In Iowa and Nebraska
poor farms are now bringing in an annual
revenue to counties whore they have
been in operation only a few years. II
any Of our readers has views on this aues-
ton he would like to make public, these
columns are open to him.

The opening article in the March Har-
per's continues the important series of
papers on thu great institutions of New
York City with careful study of "The
New York Police Department" by Dir.
Richard Wheatley. He describes the
organization Of the force, with Its rank
and grades, and the duties of each mem
Der, explicitly enough to justify the
statement made by the present Board Of
Aldermen, that ''ths Police Department
has reached standard OF efficiency hith-
erto unattained, ard superior to that Of
any force in the world" The account Of
the detective bureau is particularly inter-
esting, and tho perfection of Its system
can bs judged from the fact that in Wall
Street, formerly the richest hunting
ground for skillful thisving. from the
- of March, 1880, until to- day, not ten
cent stamp has been lost through a pro-
fessional thief-not penny, not cent?

them being lone of the Broadway
